Chapter 505 A Brief Moment of Husband-Wife Intimacy
After killing another group of evil cultivators, Wu Shaogan sensed that he didn't have much Xuan power left, so he walked towards a large house on the outer street of the ancient city.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw the lively and agile boy jumping around, lighting a fire and making hand seals in front of a huge medicine cauldron.
This kind of medicine cauldron is very different from the alchemy furnace. It is often used to refine various medicinal liquids, but it cannot form pills. It is mostly used for treatment.
In just a few breaths, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron condensed, was quickly taken out, and stored in a transparent bottle.
Wu Shaogan's gaze softened instantly, and then he noticed the fine beads of sweat on the boy's forehead, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
·
Zhong Cai was busy detoxifying people. Because he had encountered a new type of poison, he needed to find a new approach, which naturally required more effort. However, it wasn't difficult for him, just a bit tedious. The dosage required for preparing the medicine was too subtle, and even the alchemist assistants could only handle the herbs and couldn't do other odd jobs, so he was a little more tired than before.
However, once the other alchemists have adapted, he will be able to relax a lot.
Zhong Cai exhaled softly, sweat trickling down his forehead and down his nose, some even landing on his eyelashes, threatening to fall into his eyes at any moment. Unfortunately, he was busy with something and couldn't wipe the sweat himself or make any big movements, so he could only endure it...
Why?
Just then, a slender hand reached out, holding a handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat from his eyelids and nose.
A familiar aura enveloped him from behind, making him unable to help but break into a bright smile.
"Old Wu! You're here?"
Then came a gentle voice in my ear.
"Ah Cai, just focus on your work and don't worry about anything else."
Zhong Cai chuckled, and her movements indeed became even more nimble.
At that moment, that gentle force wiped his entire face, making him feel refreshed.
Zhong Cai was in a good mood and quickly finished another bottle of medicine.
Then, he handed the medicinal liquid to the several assistant alchemists beside him and instructed, "Three drops for the first three, two drops for the middle four, and one drop for the last two. Don't make a mistake."
Upon seeing this, the other alchemists readily agreed, saying, "We understand, King Zhong."
They immediately got to work.
Zhong Cai then took Wu Shaogan's hand, leaned against his chest, and took a deep, satisfied breath.
Wu Shaogan chuckled and pinched Zhong Cai's cheek.
Zhong Cai deliberately sighed, "Old Wu, you haven't taken a bath... Ouch, that hurts!"
Wu Shaogan pinched Zhong Cai's mouth, then lowered his head and bit the tip of his nose.
Zhong Cai's eyes were very bright, and at this moment they revealed a joyful gleam.
Wu Shaogan's lips slid down, and he kissed Zhong Cai's pinched lips again.
Then, Wu Shaogan let go, allowing Zhong Cai to crawl out again.
With many cultivators present, the couple couldn't be too intimate. They only showed a little affection before letting loose.
Zhong Cai noticed that Wu Shaogan's breathing was off, so she quickly pulled him to an empty corner, which was also where he usually rested—even when many patients came, they would not be crammed into this corner.
Wu Shaogan sat cross-legged.
This has been the case for the past year. Whenever he and Zhong Cai had to act separately, and whenever his Xuan power was about to run out and he needed to regulate his breathing, he would come in and stay in this corner.
Wu Shaogan stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth.
With his aptitude already at the top level of the Immortal grade, Wu Shaogan's digestion speed of the medicine was much faster than before, and he could even take more pills to help him recover faster!
His recovery time each time was only a little over half an hour.
The medicinal effects washed over Wu Shaogan's body continuously, and before long, he was filled with spiritual light and abundant energy.
Wu Shaogan opened his eyes and was met with Zhong Cai's smiling face.
Zhong Cai handed over a piece of dried meat and said with a smile, "It's delicious."
While Wu Shaogan was recuperating, Zhong Cai was not idle; he also went to rescue people. But after he finished, it was almost time, so he came over and fed his old man Wu something.
Wu Shaogan smiled and opened his mouth to bite into the jerky.
Zhong Cai lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek, then continued to treat the poison.
Wu Shaogan also didn't delay and quickly went outside to continue his journey of exorcising evil.
Although the room was filled with figures groaning in pain from poisoning, many of the cultivators were from the Temple of War and yearned for beautiful relationships. Seeing the top geniuses of both factions so affectionate, and witnessing the swift and decisive execution of their methods, they couldn't help but feel a sense of longing and perhaps even be able to endure the pain of poisoning a little longer.
Then……
Zhong Cai, holding a "golden needle" made of a special material, walked up to a young man who had just revealed a gentle and hopeful smile.
"Come here." Zhong Cai squatted down and carefully examined him. "He looks familiar. Is he a senior brother from the same sect as Shao Gan?"
The mild-mannered young man nodded gently.
And then...
"hiss."
The gentle young man felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck, where a large lump that had been oozing black fluid had now seemed to have been punctured.
But the next moment, a strange ointment was applied to the wound by another alchemist who appeared on his right side at some unknown time, pressing it with a bamboo stick and bringing him a cool sensation.
I feel much better.
The gentle young man couldn't help but look at the alchemist who was applying the ointment with great skill... Upon seeing this, he was shocked and almost couldn't help but hiss out loud again.
Ah! This is Lin Danshi, whom he has admired for so long! When did he come here to assist Zhong Danwang?!
If Lin Danshi saw him looking so ugly, how could he possibly try to win her over?!
If this battle hadn't started, he would have already delivered the gift!
The gentle young man was shaken to his core. In a state of utter shock, Zhong Cai successively punctured seven or eight large sores, and Lin Danshi repeatedly pressed and applied ointment to them.
Lin Dan's expression was very serious, and there was no mockery or disgust on his handsome face.
However, the mild-mannered young man's spirits had already plummeted to rock bottom...
Zhong Cai was originally just focused on using acupuncture to remove the poison from this familiar guy and treating his injuries. She didn't expect this person to have such a rich inner world. Even though his face was so swollen that it was unsightly, he still had so many uncontrollable micro-expressions.
So much so that when Zhong Cai noticed the slight turbulence in his body and looked up, what he saw was the shocked and frustrated expression on the other person's face when facing Master Lin... In a flash, he realized what was going on.
Zhong Cai: Pfft.
Imagine if he himself appeared before Lao Wu looking like that...
Zhong Cai blinked.
Old Wu will definitely still find him incredibly adorable!
With that in mind, Zhong Cai exerted her strength repeatedly without hesitation, quickly drawing out all the poisonous water from the man. The rest was left entirely to Lin Danshi.
...Well, he was originally going to give it to Master Lin Dan as well.
When Zhong Cai realized that the gentle young man looked so utterly hopeless after she made this decision, she was even more pleased to hand the matter over to Master Lin Dan.
Lin Danshi appeared calm and his technique was very steady.
He solemnly said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Zhong, I will definitely take good care of the patient."
Zhong Cai forced down her smile and also put on a serious expression. She patted Lin Danshi's shoulder lightly and said, "Although your alchemy skills lack a bit of flexibility, you have the advantage of being meticulous. In the long run, you will definitely make achievements in treating people's illnesses, and your thinking will also become more open. This is a very good opportunity for you to gain more experience."
Lin Danshi received a few words of encouragement from Zhong Cai, and thinking about how he always received guidance from Senior Brother Zhong when he made his moves, he realized that he had indeed made great progress compared to before, so he was in a very good mood.
He spoke respectfully, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Senior Brother Zhong, I will do my utmost."
Zhong Cai nodded again and turned to treat the next patient.
At the same time, another alchemist followed behind him, ready to listen to his guidance and take care of the patient at any time.
·
From the moment patients began arriving in the ancient city without interruption, almost every alchemist who was somewhat confident in their detoxification abilities was willing to come and assist Zhong Cai.
They knew very well that this was an excellent learning opportunity that could also help more patients.
Facing a top-tier alchemist like Zhong Cai, following him and watching him treat others, as long as you can get through it, you will definitely make great progress, if not a leap forward.
Perhaps, after this incident, due to the expansion of my thinking, even my realm of understanding will be improved!
At the same time, being able to follow Zhong Cai in practicing medicine and saving lives was a highly sought-after job.
Only by wholeheartedly following Zhong Cai's lead and diligently thinking behind him might they truly have this opportunity...
Many alchemists have already noticed their own progress.
Although many alchemists could only follow for a short distance, once they finished all their work, they could catch up with Zhong Cai when there was space behind them and learn a new technique.
The more they followed him, the more they admired Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai's mind seemed to be overflowing with ideas.
Many times, when they see patients, they are still completely clueless, but Zhong Cai has already come up with a solution and started to put it into practice!
Many times, they didn't understand Zhong Cai's methods at all, but it seemed that after a moment of dizziness, Zhong Cai had already solved the problem... They couldn't even see the process clearly.
There are also times when they think the poison a patient is ingested is familiar to them, but when Zhong Cai solves the problem, they are shocked to find that it is not a single or simple mixture of poisons as they thought, but a strange toxin with more details and complexities. If it were them who were to solve the problem, they might not have discovered the error until halfway through the process!
That would waste a lot of time and cause patients to suffer a lot more.
